Comment:

 No one has taken this bug, 1 month old, questions below, lowering
 priority/severity for now, and moving out of component security.

 What release of WordPress / PHP / ?apache? were you running when you
 experienced the problem?

 I am knoew to PHP, but I don't understand how mysql queries enter the
 scenario?

 What is different between how the problem manifests itself in WordPress
 and what would happen in another PHP application? Is there a solution from
 another application that WP can adopt?
